Aimee was at the height OF her popu-

her were fit gifts for queen. One day

diamond bracelet that took Nine.
Aimee's eyes at once. 1t was not that
the diamonds were large, but because
they were exquisitely set. We had re-

What is the price of that? asked
Aimee.

looked at it for long time then went
away.

FROM tIs marriabprs Indepen.rsss.

."'s' ''ie iihfrMoufs independently
There is a large class OF Americans
people OF opulence. men OF ACQUIRED
or inherited wealth. who do not bes-
ltare to inculcate tho belief among
theIr Children, ind especially their
daughters, that it is useless and nm
necessary for them to learn to do
anything useful in connection with
domestic manual labor. 1t Is no nm
common expression IN the higher
circles OF society for ladies to DECLARE:
MY Husband" or "my father is rich:
why, then, should demean myself bv
manual labor" In such Society Il
Is deemed vular for q lady to know
how to do a useful thing in connection
with housekeeping. Parents in these
cases rear their daughters not to learn
to do the useful, and many mothers
whose husbands are under q hard
strain every day in the year to find
the wherewIth to keepup appearances
impress their daughters with the idea
that labor is degrading, and that n
hand which shows any sign OF manual
labor will not be sought in marriage
by gentleman. We confess we do
] not know how true this is. Ii it is
correct, then indeed 1t is evidence of a
lack OF manhood; and, if it is not true
is a wicked libel on the character of
an American gentlemen.
| Girls who won't learn to do useful
things at home because their fat hers
are rich, lose opportunities to fit
themselves to meet the exigencies and
accidents OF life. 1t has always been
the custom for the princes of Ger
many to learn trades. The bourbon
princes OF France all Acquire trades.
Some OF them We're printers, book.
binders, shipwriehts, house-carpenters
loiners and painters; they did not fol-
low these vacations, but they under
stood them. Royal and princely
ladies in Germany and France under
stand every function of housekeeping,
and know how to perform it.
They can go to the dairy and stable
and handle milk or COW and a horse
with dexterity and satisfaction. The
Prince of Wales is q bookbinder.
Each of his brothers has trade, and
his sons are now learning trades, nc
cording to their tastes. All the ladies
of the English royal household are ac-
complished in practical things-they
know how to do useful things even il
they are never called upon to perform
them.
The mawkishness OF sentimentality
which encourages girls not to do use
full, practical and strengthening labor
is a debasment of the noblest impulses
of nature. When such an inculca
ton is encouraged it tends to depriv.
girls especially from developing theil
mental and physical forces, to enerat'
them and impair functions which,
pr perly trained, might develop tn
good and grand in their character
Work properly performed is d recup
, orator, not an exhauster, of menta
/ and physical forces. knowledge j
power, is an axiom OF truth. To know
how TO do the useful is an accomplish
ment OF which any girl can be proud
and especially an American girl.
